    Found these old JD side rakes at an old farm site

    Get the rest of the wood out of em, paint em up and use them for some lawn ornaments.

    Does no one know how to work a wheelbarrow now?

    Yup, my wheelbarrow has 4 wheels, 2 hyd levers, pto and a hitch.... Still got the same barrow now for 20+ years. Alot of concrete has been made in that sucker before getting the electric mixer..

    When I 1st got the ole 51 it had a new jug and piston on it. Within the 1st month I opend the muffler and retuned. Again that was +5 years ago. It pulled a 20" .325 and was well balanced for me and was a great saw. I would love to have another 51 if I could find a power head in very nice...

    NT Powerhorse two-way splitter

    I have had my splitter now for 2 years now? Still the engine starts up faster then the tiller engine or the simplicity mower. It has split "almost" everything Ive put through it. (everything except the 60d pole spike I found) I am still happy with the purcashe. I did have the air intake break on...

    Husqvarna 51

    "3 months after I bought it and retuned..Again that was 7+ years ago". I am guessing it was more of a air leak that caused this.

    storing saws and othe requipment

    All of my work saws go on a metal wire shelf. If I know i wont be using them for a few months then the chain gets loosened so its drooping from the bar. My opinion it takes the sideload off of the crank. Regardless of how long they stay up on the shelf they are all topped off with fuel and bar...

    conveyor

    Whats the length of the conveyor? Do you know what hp the motor is? If its got low enough gearing i wouldnt think it would be a problem. Heck for $100 I would by it regardless. Even if its only 8-15ft it would be good enough for me to get the splits away from the splittor

    Funniest thing happened last night...

    I really do envy all of you when your saving on the LP/oil bill. I would really love to install a OWB and then use a water to air exchanger on the new furnace.. But the Parents actually own the land and house...Even though I did buy a wood furnace for the shop.. 2 months ago I dropped $450 on...

    Heck i got a electric hammer @ about 60lbs. Even got a electric pole out by the wood pile. Ill give it a try but I will have to wait when everyone is gone or they will think Ive gone all out looney. I could probuly tack weld a wedge onto the wide bit i hardly use. I could see it "might " work on...
